Our Story
Engineering for Kids comes from the mind of educator Dori Roberts. With an extensive educational background in math and technology education, Roberts taught engineering at the high school level for 11 years. During her teaching career, she saw a dire need for math, science and engineering programs. To fill this void, she started an afterschool club that participated in various engineering and science-based competitions.
Today, Engineering for Kids offers a suite of programs for children ages 4 to 14 introducing them to science, technology, engineering and math through a variety of workshops all aimed at developing problem solving skills. Programs include after school programs, evening classes, in-school field trips, workshops, birthday parties, home-school programs, scouts workshops, and pre-school programs.

Franchisee Testimonials
"I remember opening our learning center and seeing our first students...the faces of the children, amazed, after class saying 'I want to be an engineer'...one parent wrote on our Facebook 'Congratulations for your great contribution to the education of our future adults'…there are a lot of memorable moments right now."
Fausto Torres, Mexico
"From a sound business concept into real practice, I have had this unique experience first hand. Watching room packed kids building and racing sail boats in Stafford VA with excitement made me anxious to jump start our very own Engineering For Kids in Portland OR. This is a complete Win-Win, for our children to get excited about engineering, for our teachers to acquire valuable teaching experience, and for our franchise business to be profitable."
Shu-ling Garver, Portland Oregon
